Re:	BUPERS Directive 1901-01: New Awards Submissions Procedures

Pursuant to Admiralty House Directives and AO 1901-02, all submissions for awards must go through the Staff Liaison Officer’s (SLO) Office at the Bureau of Personnel. This includes all awards that any Commanding Officer may issue. This is because the Individual Award Request (IAR) receives a system generated number that is used to reference the award request. All awards will be required to have this number in order to be considered valid. It will also give the SLO the chance to review the award and recommend an upgrade if applicable. “Batch” awards such as the Havenite War Campaign Medal (HWC) and the Havenite Occupation Service Medal (HOSM) will have to be submitted via this same process. For these awards, the nominator may include the names of all those who are to receive the award on one IAR. Once processed by the SLO, the IAR will be forwarded to the issuing authority, or in some cases, returned to the nominator for issue.

In order to ensure that the SLO is in receipt of a particular IAR, the award’s nominator will be required to “ping” the SLO’s Office no later than two weeks after submission if they have not already received a copy of the processed award from the SLO. It may still be in the queue; however, if the SLO is not in receipt of the award, it can be resubmitted and processed before any awards deadline that may be in effect.

This Directive is in effect immediately upon receipt.
